wonder why it isnt inhaled, tho. bet that changes, too. would act faster.

and i use fluticasone. $250 for a one month inhaler. w bcbs medigap.
$20 as a generic walgreens nasal spray.
i cant even get a 90 day supply. even tho the fda recommended everyone be able to get 90 days of everything.

i suppose the price of this one will go through the roof now.
